Zoology Graduate from QMUL, Veterinary Medicine Student at University of Surrey, offering to teach Biology in Guildford.

My teaching method is active learning. I would base my classes on lots of short mini quizzes, encouraging students to make their own and do lots of past papers. I approach each topic by breaking it down and relating it to the specification, going through step by step and then using your knowledge to make the points more concise.
It is also important to be able to take away the methodology of independent learning, so you are reading around your subject and are learning outside of the classroom.

Elena's Experience

Throughout my undergraduate degree in Zoology I have enjoyed teaching peers, working on revision methods in particular. I am now a first year Veterinary Student at the University of Surrey, enjoying the course throughly. I really like to work in a group, sharing knowledge and teaching each other areas of a particular topic we understand the most.

Name: Elena Marianna Lillian Grout

Date of birth: 3 Sept 1995

Nationality: British

Personal Attributes:
I am a very driven and organised individual, with good communication skills. I’m always eager to push myself and learn more, usually taking on more than I can handle, but managing everything on my plate and taking the experience as a learning curve. I like something that challenges me mentally and physically; training my horses every day is a constant example of this. It is very difficult to balance the horses with my University work, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
